- Description:
It's sometimes desirable to redirect all events of a certain type to a particular element (for example, when dragging a scrollbar or a shape, you may want to allow the mousemove events to all be directed to that element). To do this, IE implements SetCapture, ReleaseCapture, and GetCapture: * http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646262%28VS.85%29.aspx * http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646261%28VS.85%29.aspx * http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646257%28VS.85%29.aspx Mozilla has recently added this as well: http://enndeakin.wordpress.com/2009/08/27/mouse-capturing/ We should consider adding this to DOM3 Events or DOM4 Events.
